Choosing where to live
Choosing where you live can be just as important as deciding which programme to study at Ulster University.
You can choose to live in halls or in private accommodation. Before you make your final decision, it is important that you research the pros and cons of each.
- Length of contract
- Do you need to find money for a deposit?
- What bills are included in your rent and are these capped? Rates, utility, etc
- What additional costs should I consider? E.g. insurance, Wi-Fi, etc.
